Suppose that each source s i in a flow network with multiple sources and sinks produces exactly

Question:

Suppose that each source si in a flow network with multiple sources and sinks produces exactly pi units of flow, so that ∑ν∈v f(si, v)= Pi. Suppose also that each sink tj consumes exactly qj units, so that that ∑ν∈v f(ν, tj) = qj, where ∑i Pi = ∑j qj. Show how to convert the problem of finding a flow f that obeys these additional constraints into the problem of finding a maximum flow in a singlesource, single-sink flow network.
